The Maya-class battleship (摩耶型戦艦, Maya-gata senkan) is a class of three battleships that are owned and operated by the Arakami Navy. With a length of 285 m (935 ft) and a beam of 36 m (118 ft), it was the largest and the mightiest surface vessels that the nation of Yukizome had ever designed, until it was superseded by the Yumeno class. Along the succeeding Yumenos, both represent the pinnacle of the Arakami Realm's national prestige and power, as well as being the pinnacles of Yukizomejin naval engineering.

The class carries the heaviest of Yukizome's naval artilleries: both Maya and Youmu carry nine 460 mm/48 calibre guns, while the Sarashiki carries six 510 mm/45 calibre guns.
